To bridle reckless drivers and protect the lives of road users, the UAE will double fines for certain violations from July 1.
The fine for exceeding maximum speed limits by more than 60kmph will go up from Dh1,000 to Dh2,000; exceeding by more than 80kmph will be Dh3,000; and exceeding by not more than 50kmph will go up from Dh800 to Dh1,000.
Another major threat, overtaking from the road shoulder, will now see a fine of Dh1,000 and six black points, compared with the existing Dh600 and six black points.
The amendment will reduce the number of traffic laws in the country from 147 to 120, of which 19 are new laws while 29 are merged.
